Post-Surgical Rehab
Surgery repairs a structure. Rehabilitation is what turns that repair into a working shoulder, knee or back you can actually rely on.
Also called:After surgery, Post-op rehab, ACL rehab, Replacement recovery
What it feels like
- Stiffness and swelling after an operation
- Weakness in the operated limb
- Uncertainty about what is safe to do
- Progress that has stalled
A technically perfect operation still needs months of specific work behind it. That work is where the outcome is actually decided.
How we treat it
Therapeutic Exercise
A progressive, individually prescribed exercise programme that rebuilds strength, mobility and control so improvements hold after discharge.
Manual Therapy
Skilled hands-on treatment of joints and soft tissue to restore movement and reduce pain, delivered by a licensed physical therapist rather than a machine.
Joint Mobilization
Graded, controlled movement applied directly to a restricted joint to restore its normal glide and reduce the pain that comes with guarding.
Physical Therapy
A full evaluation, a diagnosis you can understand, and a treatment plan built for your body and your goals rather than a generic protocol.
Electrical Stimulation
Controlled electrical current used to reduce pain or to help a muscle contract when injury or surgery has made it difficult to activate.
